    In my new post, I map the findings from empirical research into the link between community power and health to the many theories. By doing so, I illustrate which theories are backed by research and could inform your theory of change

    Fascinating… And pleased to read that the cretins at Meta just don’t understand the metaverse and are likely to get it all wrong. Hardly surprising from a founder who’s single insight was ‘which of these girls would you sleep with?’ Imbecile.

    "No one...cares about the suffering of children in Africa and Asia. They are, however, gripped by the war in Ukraine, which should grip them, which distresses all of us, but which should not be allowed to be seen as worse than other conflicts"

    It seems to me the underlying premise of this question needs debate. Why should academics and wonks spend their time (and often tax payers’ money) ‘solving’ this while citizens and communities aren’t consulted on what matters to them? Makes no sense

    This is a good piece and it seems to me that there is very little in the white paper about integrated care systems that centred the citizen and his/her/their experience in how the system might be integrated

    It’s hard to know where to begin with this article but it’s clear to me that has an uphill battle in the US, one that I think it’s unlikely to win any time soon

    Of the $67bn pledged towards racial equity by American companies off the back of the murder of George Floyd, only 1% has been spent and much of it on stuff that makes no material impact.

    snag?! Why the heck does it say ‘snag’?! I typed ‘what’, I’m sure. Why would auto-correct make that ‘snag’?! FFS…

    This is important stuff. We often talk about x per y, the focus usually being on the x. But the y — the denominator — isn’t neutral and snag we choose for it advantages some and disadvantages other. Thoughtful stuff.

    This stuff isn’t easy to handle but it’s important. The origins of the modern health professions are littered with the abuses of people considered ‘less’, often slaves and the poor. It’s time we understood that and thought about how we might pay for it

    Lots of good thinking in this article but I especially like: "publicly reporting progress toward achieving racial equity in health outcomes" cc

    Really? We’re relying on people from Google to “create AI technology that everyone can generally agree is beneficial to society”. That has to be a joke…

    "Decades, even generations, may pass between exposure to systemic racism and evidence of its health damages, obscuring the connection." But this image does a good job of illustrating it

    Honestly, if we're going to talk about racism in health we need plainer language than these two garbled, technocratic paragraphs that are basically saying we have to talk to people who have endured racism to really understand it
